The Ceremony
May River Chapel
Evening · Exact time to come
Our story started at Auburn University, where we went from friends to dating before eventually moving to Dallas after Bryce accepted a job there.
Bryce originally planned to propose during a trip to Austin, but a snowstorm had other plans and made the trip impossible. When the roads became unsafe to travel, he proposed in the snow instead. Not quite the setting we had in mind, but it turned into a moment that felt very us.
As we start this next chapter, we are looking forward to building a life together filled with new adventures, plenty of animals, and the people we love most. We are so excited to celebrate with all of you.
